Parasoft SOAtest

The leading API and UI functional testing solution, powered by AI and machine learning.

Improve your QA/testing process with industry-leading technologies that make UI, API, mobile, load, performance, and security testing easier to use and scale.

Parasoft SOAtest brings artificial intelligence and machine learning to automated testing to help users test applications with multiple interfaces (i.e. mobile, web, API, and database). Its automated API testing mitigates the cost of re-work by proactively adjusting your library of tests as services change. SOAtest efficiently transforms your existing test artifacts into security and performance tests, to increase re-usability and reduce redundancy, all while building a foundation of automated tests that can be executed as part of Continuous Integration and DevOps pipelines.

Addressing Critical Issues Impacting Teams

Reduce the cost of developing high-quality software, without sacrificing time-to-market.

Continuous Testing

Automate the execution of API, performance, and security tests as part of your continuous delivery pipeline, leveraging CI infrastructure such as Jenkins, Bamboo, TeamCity, and VSTS, to provide a faster feedback loop for test development and management.

Agile

Accelerate the feedback process required in agile methodology, by integrating test results with your requirements and issue management systems, such as Jira, to enable traceability and continuously validate your level of risk.

Security and load/performance testing are often left to the end of the development cycle, but present the greatest risk to delayed releases. Integrate this testing earlier into your SDLC to reduce corporate risks associated with performance outages and security breaches.

"Parasoft has an impressive and concrete road map to increase test automation from design to execution, pushing autonomous testing. Parasoft shined in our evaluation specifically around effective test maintenance, strong CI/CD and application lifecycle management (ALM) platform integration, as well as reporting through its analytics system PIE."

Functional Test Automation with Parasoft SOAtest

From a single intuitive interface, SOAtest automates end-to-end test scenarios across multiple interfaces and a variety of endpoints (i.e. mobile, REST APIs, SOAP services, databases, Web UIs, ESBs, or mainframes). SOAtest reduces the time it takes to create and execute data-driven test scenarios by providing a visual test-creation mechanism to take care of common testing challenges like complex assertions, looping, data extraction, or data generation.

Use SOAtest to reduce test maintainability problems by proactively adjusting your tests as APIs change, and integrate SOAtest into your Continuous Delivery pipeline to ensure that your applications have an acceptable level of risk.

Easily extend SOAtest for your specific needs with a Java extensibility API, support for scripting (JavaScript and Python), and the ability to execute external tools. Download free add-ons from the Parasoft Marketplace.

Load and Performance Testing with Parasoft LoadTest

Parasoft LoadTest takes the tests from SOAtest and runs them under load to validate your application's performance under stress. It verifies that your services meet specific quality-of-service metrics and shows you where performance bottlenecks exist. Load and performance testing can be fully automated and run continuously, enabling constant validation and providing immediate feedback on the impact of change against SLAs.

Get visibility into API performance over time with Parasoft's LoadTest Continuum, a thin-client interface that displays performance-trending information, providing unique insights to testers, developers, and managers.

Optimize the deployment of your application by monitoring backend systems when under load, to identify bottlenecks such as memory leaks, thread saturation, etc.

Combine results with application coverage from Jtest or dotTEST to pinpoint the underlying penetrated code.

Build a security sandbox with service virtualization and simulate malformed responses and unexpected outages from the backend.

Integrated Service Virtualization with Parasoft Virtualize

In today's complex test environments, performing a complete test scenario is often bottlenecked due to constrained dependencies, such as third-parties that are unavailable or require a transaction fee, systems that are not scalable to the performance required for effective testing, or systems that are unavailable due to Agile roadblocks.

By creating simulated representations using service virtualization with Parasoft Virtualize, you can free yourself from your testing constraints to test anytime, anywhere as part of your CI process.
